The kick-off meeting will serve as a platform for identifying ways in which the Working Group can provide the oversight required for coordinating strategies of implementation for the Roadmap EU-Africa research and innovation (R&I) partnership on FNSSA while addressing gaps that require additional joint actions by both African and European actors.

According to an announcement published on the Research and Innovation Network for Europe and Africa, the Working Group is expected to oversee the "coordination between the different instruments, partners, and projects implementing the Roadmap." The announcement further adds that "included in this coordination is the need for monitoring and evaluating (M&E) the implementation of the Roadmap. In the beginning, the Working Group will focus its activities on M&E."
